WE NEED TO TALK

Me kōrero ngātahi tātou

Hey, let’s start a new conversation / Me kōrero hou tātou

The future of the Ngatea Library and Service Centre

Ngatea Library and Service Centre will stay in the existing council building at the current site.

The decision, made by the council on 29 May, follows extensive feedback from the community, including a petition signed by more than 1200 people as well as feedback from a new conversation that was kicked off on April 16.

The future looks bright!

We’ve done lots of talking about the future of the Ngatea Library and Service Centre. Thanks for all your great thoughts and ideas. Now we know where we’re going.

We’ve summarised what you’ve told us in a book that you can view at any of our libraries and service centres. Check it out.

What’s next?

At its meeting on 27 May, the Council agreed to invest up to $65,000 in the next phase of the project, which is to do a full assessment of the existing building and draw up concept designs and plans. A working party made up of the Mayor, councillors and community representatives will be set up to work on the designs and keep the community up to speed as they go.
